Edit banned/Suspended - would like to edit again.: This is the thread we use to talk things over with people who received a suspension notice. A lot of the time the notice goes out just so we can explain how seriously we take certain things, not because we want the person to feel bad and go away.
For a fun site, we're pretty fussy about stuff like grammar and spelling, for example. More than you would expect, considering that we do want the funny. Everything is better with the funny.
Leave a note here indicating you want to talk the suspension over, then hang in there for a bit. A moderator will be along to talk to you about the situation.
NOTE: If you see another banned person post something that you want to comment on, don't. This thread is for discussion between banned people and Mods - no third parties invited.
While you're at it, browse What to Do If You Are Suspended.

Relationship Status: Hoping Senpai notices me ![]() With Mod Hat On @Wagahai: Using the the wiki to complain about how you think a show is unrealistic, to the point of attempting to shoe-horn non-YMMV tropes onto a YMMV page.

Relationship Status: Hoping Senpai notices me ![]() With Mod Hat On YMMV is specifically for subjective and reaction tropes. It is not for absolutes that might be a bit controversial.
Although I do find it interesting that you're only ragging on Firefly rather than other Science Fiction series, some of which are more unrealistic than that one.

Relationship Status: Pining for the fjords ![]() With Mod Hat On The vast majority of sci-fi works violate Real Life physics to one degree or another; trying to single out one show to complain about this is quite silly.
Nate, spamming this thread with "unban me now"-type posts is a good incentive for us to do exactly the opposite.

Relationship Status: Falling within your bell curve ![]() With Mod Hat On How do I report somebody to the mods?
That depends on where you are. On the fora, you can click the yellow triangle above the post that's giving you grief. It takes you to a Holler page, where you can write a message to us and that message, along with a link to the post you're Hollering, gets sent to us.
If you're in the Wiki, you can go to Ask The Tropers. Or you can go to Know the Staff and pick a mod (it doesn't matter who you pick, except if you know who's online you'll get a quicker response) and click on the link labeled "Contact" next to the mod's name. It takes you to a Send PM screen, where you can write a message to that mod. Just tell us what's bugging you, and we'll go and take a look.

Relationship Status: Loves me...loves me not ![]() With Mod Hat On Someone's missing the point.
Another troper was cleaning wicks for a renamed trope. When a trope's name is changed, we use the new name, while the old stays as a redirect. Indeed, if you click This Is Sparta, it will take you to Punctuated! For! Emphasis!. You kept Edit Warring over keeping This Is Sparta, and your final edit reason was this:
that's besides the point. when the people who made this trope page want something to stick, the want it to stick. it doesn't matter if that trope was old, it can still be used so it stays.
It doesn't matter who made the page. Your editing rights over it are no greater than anyone else's. Especially when they are doing cleanup work.
Finally, that was a Zero-Context Example, therefore it should not be there anyway.

Relationship Status: Loves me...loves me not ![]() With Mod Hat On Did you get into an Edit War? No. Then I'm obviously not talking to you.
Tell you what, take some time off to calm down about everything. We can discuss lifting your suspension again on July 2nd, if you manage to calm down and act maturely.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
